There are numerous reports that the general risk of developing cancer in the breast parenchyma is elevated among women with complex fibroadenomas; these women are 3.1-3.7 times more likely to develop breast cancer than women in the general population (compared with a relative risk of 1.9 times in women with non-complex fibroadenomas).
